AT recent entertainment in Phila-
delphia, admission was not by ticket but
by vegetable, each person being re-
quired to hand over to the door-keeper
potato or some other other vegetable
product. The net proceeds were dis
tributed among the poor.

Wasting Wheat.

The cheapness of wheat should not
induce wasteful feeding of it. By this
we mean substituting it as stock feed
where coarser grains would answer ev-
cry purpose. Whole wheat is excel
lent for poultry, and as it is the best
egg producing food in the world, what
Is fed to hens goes to mems stomachs
nearly as surely as if it were ground
and made into bread. But general
ly speaking, wheat is the grain best
adapted to use for human food, and
should be used exclusively for that.
It is pretty certain that less corn
bread is eaten anywhere in this coun-
try than there was q few years ago.
The cheapness of wheat has caused It's
substitution for corn, rye and other
grain. This also is true in other
parts of the world, especially in India,
where rice has heretofore been the
staple food of the poor. When In
dian ryots get to eating wheaton
bread in place of rice, that country
will have taken an important step in
adopting European or American civil
ization.

Seed Potatoes.

Pro. Sanborn has published the
results of some experiments, which
seem to Indicate that large pO-
tatoes are better than small ones for
seed, and that either large or small,
when planted whole, are better than
cut seed, and that the fewer the eyes
in the cutting the less productive the
seed. We cannot help feeling that the
tests would have had q higher value
if the seed potatoes, instead of being
classified as large and small, had been
selected according to the character of
the particular plant on which they
grew. Like produces like, and we APP
prehend that in a general way a pota-
to eye, under favorable conditions,
will reproduce the kind of q plant on
which it was formed, whether that eye
CHANGED to be in a little tuber or g.
big one. If one swine" bore ten large
potatoes and two small ones, and an
other vine bore two large potatoes
and ten small ones, we should plant
the small seed from No. rather than
the large seed from No. 2. Some
thing must always be allowed for va
ration, and, therefore, if seed from the
best hills is planted one year, and
seed from the best hills from this crop
again selected, it is probable that g.
pedigree seed would be secured which
would be an Improvement on the
original variety. Will some of our
experiment stations begin by selecting
seed in the hill and not in the bin
Prof. Sanborn's conclusion that
in ordinary hands it Is safer to
plant large, whole potatoes no doubt
bears out the general experience. In
q warm, moist spring and In perfectly
prepared ground the roots from the
eyes in cuttings with one or two buds
may at once find something to feed
on and g. successful crop may be Sc
cured. A sprout from a small cutting
whic contains but little plant food
at the best would scarcely have g.
prosperous send-off if dropped in dry
soil in dry time when even the little
food must soon dry up or out. IN
der these conditions, g. big, entire po-
tato would, OF course, be safer seed
for there would be more plant food
ready and the skin would protect it
from desiccation.
1t hardly needs any elaborate ex-
pertinent to establish this. But these
results depend upon the environment
of the eye. What we want is some
careful effort to breed better kind of
eye-that is, an eye which will pro-
duce better kind of plant.

The great, good, and commercial ben

this branch Of the n G.. & st. L. road to
